Hello, my name is /last name and first name/ and I represent the Caucasus Research Resource
Centers, a non-profit independent research center which is a program of the Eurasia Partnership
Foundation2 in /country/. We are conducting our annual survey and would like to ask your
household a number of questions to help better understand people’s opinions and conditions in our
country. Your household has been selected randomly, along with a couple thousand other
households in /country/, and it is very important for the reliability of the results that you agree to
participate in this survey.
Participation in our survey is voluntary and will be confidential and completely anonymous. Your
household member’s name will not be linked to the responses recorded on this survey, nor will
researchers be able to link your identity or address to the responses recorded. On behalf of our
organization, I ask you to help us understand what people think about life in our country.
This interview will take approximately 55 minutes, depending on the size of your household. I will
need your help to identify the adult household member I will be interviewing. This selection should
be done according to a special procedure that ensures random selection of the respondent. It’s very
important that we follow certain steps while identifying this member of the household.
Let’s talk about your household. By “household” we mean people currently living with you most of
the time, regardless of their legal place of residence, and who share income and expenses. I would
like to ask you to tell me only about the members who currently live with you.
V4. Please tell me, according to the definition provided, how many people, including you, live
currently in your household?
